Reading Time: < 1 minute
4.8. Washing the Right Limbs before the Left
- It is masnoon to wash the right limbs, that is, the right hand, arm and foot, before the left limbs, that is the left hand, arm and foot.
- This is also applicable when making masah on leather socks.
- Washing the right limbs first is sunnat even if one can comfortably wash both sides at the same time, such as in the instance of a person being in a pool of water.
- Those parts of the body which can be washed easily from both sides at once, such as the two sides of the face, the two sides of the head and the two ears, it is sunnat to wash them together.
- To wash the parts mentioned in no.4 one after the other is makrooh. Some have said that it is khilaaf aula (contrary to what is best).
